Mars 1

The Mars 1 mission is a non profit foundation where they hope to send humans to live and grow on mars for the rest of their lives. what they plan to do is to send rovers ahead a few years to get a settlement started and prepared for human survival. They are taking in applicants to live their that fulfill their large lists of requirements.

One of the requirements is physical and your ability to handle certain physical strain at your age. I am 17 so i would need to be able to do 24 curl ups, 9-12 trunk lifts, 18 push ups etc. I can not meet those physical requirements so i would immediately be out already.

Mars 1 is mainly English but they do accept applicants from different countries if they speak 1 of these 11 languages English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Chinese Mandarin, Korean, Indonesian, or Japanese. You may also be required to speak at least 2 languages. I only speak English so i do not meet these requirements either.

Also if you wish to apply you must have a clean bill of health and have no dependency or addiction to drugs (Medicinal or recreational). you must also have 20/20 vision not requiring the constant need of glasses. Their is also  a height requirement. i have 20/20 vision but one of the requirements is no diseases and cancer and alzheimers run in my family so i have no clue if i will get it later in my life.

From the requirements i have read i do not meet the requirements to join mars 1 in almost all of the  categories listed.
